I have a friend who loves handbags and has made many shopping bags , oldie things in general....I wondered if some of this fabric would be a Christmas gift idea for her....she is capable of making a handbag for herself - what do you think? Would 1 metre be enough....glad for your advices. Thanks.

I think a metre would be enough hernibs. It is a wide fabric and the design doesn't look too big. I like it very much. Your friend should be delighted.

Loving the fabric. I buy a fair bit of fabric from Croft Mill but never think to look in the craft section, I will from now on.

1m x 150cm is more than enough for a bag, she'll probably get two out of it.
